Celebrate America!

The upcoming week is the week of the 4th of July. Therefore, I have pulled out all my red, white and blue papers to get started on my holiday cards and projects for this week.

I have recently become some what obsessed with treat containers. I even have a board on Pinterest where I post any sort of treat project I find. I think I have to thank the Jaded Blossom and SVG Cutting Files Design Teams for this new obsession of mine!

I found this simple but oh so cute Uncle Sam cute file along with the tube holder box and stars over at SVG Cutting Files.

I cut the box to measure  2.5" tall and then sized all the other elements to fit that. 
I gave Uncle Sam  a face from the PKS Simple Sallies Faces stamp set. The sentiment is from Stamp Annie Thing Party in America Stamp set.

I used the Jaded Blossom Patriotic Candies to decorate the tube top.

Holiday M&M's complete my little treat project.  You can find the treat tubes on the Jaded Blossom site here.

Orange you Sweet!

Happy Friday.

Last week I got happy mail from Jaded Blossom which included some plastic treat boxes. These little boxes are the perfect size for little gifties.

For my box, I found tiny bite size orange jellie slices at the store which were perfect for this small treat box.

How cute is this orange and orange slice die cut? They are this weeks  freebie in the SVG Cutting Files newsletter. If you are not on the newsletter list, I suggest you sign up here. These oranges were perfect for my little box and my treats.

I didn't have an "orange" sentiment in my stash of stamps, so I created and printed one from my computer.

Here's a picture of the back of the box so you can see the tiny orange slices.

They are almost to cute to eat!

I am off to do some weeding in my flower garden. It's looking a bit neglected right now. 

I wish you all a happy Friday!!

Owl be there treat.

It's been a busy week thus far but we are already at Wednesday. I am  hoping for great weather to catch some good music in the park this evening. So hoping it stays dry! I made this cute little treat for a friend this week. Felt she needed some love to get through a busy week.

The slider treat box is from a My Creative Time die, the owl is a Stampin' Up punch, and the sentiment is from a new stamp set I just received from My Scrappy Moms stamps called Owl Occasions.

I filled the box with chocolate so hopefully it will brighten her day.

Birthday Card Challenge - Die Cuttin' Divas.

Welcome to another Die Cuttin' Diva's weekly challenge. This weeks challenge theme is to make a Birthday card but use three embellishments. They can be three different items or three of one item.

I decided on three flower shaped buttons for my inspiration card. 

For my card this week, I used some cutting files I found over at SVG Cutting Files. I used the cupcake girl and the card base itself. The sentiment is from an old My Pink Stamper set. 

I hope you will join us this week and link up a birthday card. Don't forget, you must use a die cut on your card to link up. 

Please be sure to swing by the Die Cuttin' Diva's blog to see what awesome projects the rest of the DT has to show you.
